In this episode of The OddCast Show, we sit down with authors and epic scholars Ami Ganatra (@amiganatra547) and Dr. Vineet Aggarwal (@drvineetaggarwal) to explore the real strength, depth, and dignity of women characters like Sita, Draupadi, Kunti, Kaikeyi, and even Mandodari.
From misunderstood dharma to distorted pop culture portrayals, this conversation dives into the original Itihaasa, the many versions of the epics, and how we can finally look at these timeless women with clarity and not with modern biases.
Watch now and rediscover the women who shaped the greatest stories ever told.
